The number of positive integers $x$ satisfying the equation $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{1}{x+2}=\frac{13}{2}$ is.

If $x+\frac{1}{x}=a, x^2+\frac{1}{x^3}=b$, then $x^3+\frac{1}{x^2}$ is

The product of all real roots of the equation ${x^2} - |x| - \,6 = 0$ is

If $\log _{(3 x-1)}(x-2)=\log _{\left(9 x^2-6 x+1\right)}\left(2 x^2-10 x-2\right)$, then $x$ equals

The set of all real numbers $x$ for which ${x^2} - |x + 2| + x > 0,$ is

Let $S=\left\{\sin ^2 2 \theta:\left(\sin ^4 \theta+\cos ^4 \theta\right) x^2+(\sin 2 \theta) x+\right.$ $\left(\sin ^6 \theta+\cos ^6 \theta\right)=0$ has real roots $\}$. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the smallest and largest elements of the set $S$, respectively, then $3\left((\alpha-2)^2+(\beta-1)^2\right)$ equals....................
